About the course...
Are you a frustrated watercolourist?
Have you been struggling to create that perfect painting without overworking it?
Does it never turn out as you hoped?
If there was such a thing as 'Painters Block,' have you got it?
Ruth understands all of these issues; she's been there herself. She's made every error known to man and initially faced all of the same problems.
Well, She has some good news for you. She's discovered a fail-safe way of planning and mastering painting Rough Seas in Watercolour.
She is really excited to share this secret of success with you, the PEA process:
PLANNING
EXPERIMENTING
APPLYING.
Ruth says, "The PEA process is a way of making any mistakes in the planning process and not in the main painting process. I do this every time I start a painting. It saves time, effort, and heartache."

A message from Ruth - "It's always been a dream of mine to create an online painting course."
My name is Ruth Clayton, and I've been an artist for over 30 years, having gained an art degree at Leeds and a teaching certificate at Manchester university.
I have extensive experience teaching a wide age range of students and have taught in schools, colleges, prisons, and on a one-to-one basis. In my face-to-face workshops, the adult students often enrol year after year; I'm honored to call so many of them my friends.
I have also worked in the commercial sector, designing greeting cards and other merchandise.
I have had many exciting opportunities exhibiting my paintings and completing commissions and have enjoyed every part of my art career so far.
I'm passionate about watercolour and would love to share, with like-minded people, the hints and tips that I've learned over the years.

What one of Ruth's students says:
Wow, what an excellent course...coming along at just the right time when I badly needed something uplifting and inspirational to cheer me up and keep me going.
You have covered absolutely everything in this course, step by step, from creating a space to paint up to the point where you have a finished painting. Then lessons on how to progress to earning money from art. There is a huge amount of useful information from which paints and paper to use and how to achieve magical effects with salt and cling film.
I was excited and motivated from the first step, which was to turn my spare room (the room of doom!) into a peaceful, calm, inspiring place to paint. Each step is carefully and thoughtfully explained as well as demonstrated. You can watch the videos over and over again until you are confident to paint. As is usual for me, I did make a few dodgy splodges that in the past would have seen my painting swiftly making its way to the bin, but not this time, mistakes were dealt with, and I knew how to rectify them and carry on.
I am really pleased with my finished painting. I can’t believe I painted it! I am even more pleased that I know how to approach doing a painting now. I’ve spent too long just jumping into all sorts of creative things and not quite pulling them off or having to leave them unfinished (or more likely consigned to the bin) as I hadn’t planned or experimented first. I hope not to start anything without a clear path to the finished product.
The mindfulness and meditation section is something I’m going to go back to as calming my thoughts and focusing doesn’t come naturally to me. I find myself being anxious more often now, and I’m grateful for a pointer to better deal with that.
